Schedule Includes Dates At Rockingham, New Millville, N.J. Course

TOLEDO, Ohio — The ARCA RE/MAX Series, long recognized as the most versatile touring series in motorsports, has released its 2008 schedule to include 21 events in 13 states and Canada.
A diverse combination of superspeedways, short tracks, dirt tracks and a return to road-course racing for the first time since 2001 will help steer the tour into its 56th-consecutive season of competition.
“The 2008 schedule maintains our balance of superspeedway, short track and mile-dirt state fairgrounds events, all of which are very important to the identity and industry position of the ARCA RE/MAX Series,” said ARCA President Ron Drager.
“Adding the road course event certainly adds to our diversity. The number of scheduled events remains stable at a level we’ve found to be appropriate for everyone associated with the series, and we’re pleased with the geographic coverage represented by the markets we’ll be racing in.”
The season, as it has since 1964, will open at Daytona Int’l Speedway with the 45th annual Daytona ARCA 200 Feb. 9.
Fittingly, the season will conclude at Toledo Speedway, the birthplace of ARCA, as part of the annual championship weekend coinciding with the ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series.
In between, the series will appear in a wide variety of venues including new stops at Rockingham Speedway in Rockingham, N.C., on May 4, Cayuga Speedway Park in Nelles Corners, Ontario on June 29th and the new New Jersey Motorsports Park 2.3-mile road course in Millville, N.J. on Sept. 28.
The event at Cayuga Speedway Park marks the series’ eighth appearance in Canada since 1967. The last time the series raced in Canada was at Delaware Speedway in July 1992.
The event at New Jersey Motorsports Park will mark the 10th appearance of the ARCA RE/MAX Series on a road course dating back to 1958 when the series made its road course debut at the now defunct Meadowdale Raceway in Carpentersville, Ill.
